Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known for his decisions on the field. It is not possible for any player or captain to read Dhoni's mind. Yesterday IPL 2023 Qualifier-1 match was played between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. Chennai won the match by 15 runs in a thrilling manner. Dhoni made a smart decision in this match and changed the outcome of the match.
The umpire refused to bowl to Pathira
After the 15th over of Gujarat Titans' innings in IPL 2023 Qualifier-1, Dhoni wanted to bowl the remaining three overs to Sri Lankan fast bowler Pathirana, but the umpire refused to bowl to Pathirana at that time. The reason for this was that Hutan Ke Pathira was off the field for more than 8 minutes. According to the IPL rules, a bowler can bowl only after spending as much time in the field as he has spent outside the field.
Dhoni stopped the match for 4 minutes and changed the outcome of the match
Dhoni had already made up his mind to bowl to Pathira. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni and some players of the team were seen talking to the umpire. During this conversation, Dhoni asked the umpire after how much time Pathirana can bowl? In response to this question, the umpire asked to bowl after 4 more minutes. Dhoni stopped the game for 4 minutes following the umpire's advice and later bowled from Pathirana. However, the Chennai Super Kings team fell prey to a slow over rate. With this, the Chennai team reached the final of IPL 2023 by winning the match. Chennai reached the final for a record 10th time in the history of IPL.
